ELLYN, IL,JULY 30, 1997 --DCFS Director Jess McDonald will join Illinois
State Senator Beverly Fawell in honoring the DCFS Glen Ellyn office,
800 Roosevelt Road, Building B, Suite 990, July 30 at 1 p.m. for being
among the first seven DCFS sites to become accredited by the Council
on Accreditation. This milestone marks the first step in an aggressive
four-year plan to eventual accreditation of all DCFS local offices.
"It is my pleasure to congratulate the Department of Children and
Family Services on achieving accreditation for seven of its sites,"
said Gov. Jim Edgar. "Accreditation establishes Illinois as a state
that accepts nothing less than excellence in performance and service
to its children and families. And it says to the citizens of this state
that we care about what is most important: protecting and serving our
most vulnerable citizens -- abused and neglected children."
will be the only state agency to achieve accreditation for its entire
department as well as for all the private sector agencies that the department
contracts with for foster care services. The state of Oklahoma's child
welfare agency is accredited, but Oklahoma does not require its contracting
agencies to be accredited.
means that seven of our local offices have met rigorous national standards
that help to ensure quality service," said Director McDonald. "Here
in Illinois, we are taking a leadership position in ensuring that within
four years, all of our offices will perform services needed in their
communities, that they will conduct safe and effective operations and
will manage their funds wisely."
will be joined by local community leaders and legislators as he visits
the seven DCFS offices in Galesburg, Harvey, Alton, Wood River, Mt.
Vernon, Charleston and Glen Ellyn during the month of July. McDonald
will present a plaque at each site.
a time when the welfare system and the health care industry are being
overhauled, evaluating the quality and level of services that are provided
by child welfare agencies is increasingly important.
residents can be sure that the state's most vulnerable children are
being provided for in a way that meets all applicable standards, thanks
to the DCFS statewide accreditation plan that is currently underway,"
said David Liederman, executive director of the Child Welfare League
of America. "DCFS' proactive accreditation initiative has positioned
Illinois as a leader among state child welfare agencies."
Council on Accreditation is an independent, nonprofit, nationally recognized
accreditor of mental health and social service agencies in the United
States and Canada. The accreditation procedure involves an in-depth
and detailed examination of an agency's operation that includes personnel,
safety, fiscal and program management.
of the seven field offices that underwent the lengthy process has shown
significant improvements in the levels and quality of services as well
as employee morale. The rejuvenated sense of professional pride and
confidence translates directly into significant service improvements
for the children and families DCFS serves," McDonald said. "Without
a doubt, accreditation will significantly raise the quality of services
for the abused and neglected children in Illinois."

SALT LAKE CITY — It's a chance to make both your home and the lives of struggling artists a little more beautiful.
Local artists Annie Henrie and Sandra Rast will be participating in the upcoming "A Gospel Vision of the Arts" exhibit, opening Oct. 26 and 27 at the Deseret Book location at City Creek shopping center in Salt Lake City.
The exhibit, which also features original work by artists such as James C. Christensen and Liz Lemon Swindle, includes small works that will be auctioned off to fund a new scholarship for emerging artists.
"We wanted to help support some of the new artists who aren't known by anyone yet," said Dallan Wright, product director of fine arts for Deseret Book. "We also wanted to do a gallery show with some of the artists we've already worked with. The two ideas just came together."
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a collection of 2x4 wood blocks, all covered with canvas and painted by the participating artists. The resulting works are miniature representations of the different artist's styles, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with their larger works.
"I love original artwork, but it's not something everyone can afford," said Wright. "I didn't tell the artists what to do. I just said they needed to make it inspirational."
The results surprised him in the best possible way.
"As they came in, I just got more and more excited," he said.
The blocks range from a miniature Salt Lake Temple by Rast to a woman with forget-me-nots in her hair by Rose Datoc Dall. The blocks will be part of a silent auction. Proceeds will go toward the Gospel Vision of the Arts Scholarship fund.
"It will be a good way for artists to put themselves out there and show what they can do," said Wright.
The exhibit will have four artist meet-and-greets that will be open to the public.
Two will be held Oct. 26, with the first running from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and the second running from 6-9 p.m. The last two will be on Oct. 27, with the first running from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and the second running from 4-6 p.m. Henrie and Rast will attend all four events.
The exhibit will run from Oct. 26 to Dec. 10. Visitors can bid on the blocks at any point during that time, and the final winners will be notified after the exhibit closes.
"There's just such variety," said Wright. "I think it'll hit on all levels with people. There's a little something for everyone."

The settings and characters in Frank Herbert's Dune are so vivid, it's hard to do justice to them on the screen. But looking at these amazing "speed-paintings" by concept artist Mark Molnar is enough to make you wish they'd try again.
Writes Molnar:
I was always a big fan of the world of the original Dune book, so I thought it could be a really fun side project to develop some concepts for it.

I know something is pretty old. But, I am just collecting all the problems and solution for 1.1.3 upgraded iPhone which hope to make it easier to read. See if it can help.
The jailbreak method for iPhone 1.1.3 is released. It is not a complete update to 1.1.3 but just soft-update. You will still get 1.1.2 baseband on 1.1.3 firmware. Anyway, you can enjoy those great features of 1.1.3. But, there is 10 things you need to know after upgrading to 1.1.3. Solution included for some cases.
Note soft-upgrade for iPhone only applies to bootloader 3.9, NOT for OTB iPhone 1.1.2 or higher (of boorloader 4.6).
1. Remove the huge 300MB file to save the space
You can manually login to iPhone through SSH, navigate to /, remove the folder softupgrade. Or, you can install the 1.1.3 Soft Upg. Cleaner from Installer of iPhone.
2. Only 4 international keyboard available
NO FIX FOR THIS YET. I tried to replace the 1.1.3 UIKit Framework with 1.1.2, but it doesnt work. Although you can set and choose more international keyboards under settings, the Maps and Safari will hang after you replace 1.1.3 UIKit framework with 1.1.2. Lets hope for someone to help to add more international keyboard to 1.1.3.
3. Customize and Summerboard will not work
NO FIX FOR THIS YET. The customization tool, Customize and Summerboad will NOT work properly after upgraded to 1.1.3. No fix for this until they have new version. For those who planned to upgrade to iPhone 1.1.3, it is highly recommended for you to remove these 2 softwares first.
4. Ringtone may not work properly
Add http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo to the Installer sources. Install the 1.1.3 Ringtone Fix will help. And all the customize ringtones can work by using the MeCCA patch.
5. Google Maps cannot locate where you are
Do not replace the lockdownd file of 1.1.3 to make it work. Simply install Locate Me or Navizon from Installer. Locate where you are using either of this 2 softwares, then open Google Maps and the virtual GPS function should work now.
6. International caller ID not match
NO FIX FOR THIS YET. People tried to replace the AppSupport file of 1.1.3 and iPhone hangs. Hence, the old method will not work for 1.1.3. You need to wait.
7. EDGE not working and settings is not saved
Go to Settings > General, choose Reset. Reset all network settings. It should work after all.
8. OpenSSH is not working anymore and cannot be uninstalled
Reinstallation of OpenSSH can help. Notice there will not be any SSH icon on the iPhone main screen under 1.1.3.
9. BSD Subsystem problem
Manually reinstall it through Installer.app. It is easy.
10. Applications disappeared after upgrade
This will happen if you have moved your Applications use this hack. Revert the hack by following commands shown in picture:

|November 29, 2012
|Love this red rooibos tea with its vanilla undertones. Use piping hot water, steep for 5 minutes and it becomes fuller in body and more flavorful in taste. Great for sipping any time but especially on a cold, drizzly day.

Foster Klug and Hyung-Jin Kim / The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — North and South Korea staged dueling war games Monday as threatening rhetoric from the rivals rose to the highest level since North Korea rained artillery shells on a South Korean island in 2010.
Enraged over the South's joint military drills with the United States and recent U.N. sanctions, Pyongyang has piled threat on top of threat, including vows to launch a nuclear strike on the U.S. and to scrap the nearly 60-year-old armistice that ended the Korean War. Seoul has responded with tough talk of its own and has placed its troops on high alert.
North Korea's main newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, reported that the armistice was nullified Monday as Pyongyang had previously announced. The North followed through on another promise Monday, shutting down a Red Cross hotline that the North and South used for general communication and to discuss aid shipments and separated families' reunions.
The 11-day military drills that started Monday involve 10,000 South Korean and about 3,000 American troops. Those coincide with two months of separate U.S.-South Korean field exercises that began March 1.
Also continuing are large-scale North Korean drills that Seoul says involve the army, navy and air force. The South Korean defense ministry said there have been no military activities it considers suspicious.
Despite the heightened tension, there were signs of business as usual Monday.
The two Koreas continue to have at least two working channels of communication between their militaries and aviation authorities.
One of those hotlines was used Monday to give hundreds of South Koreans approval to enter North Korea to go to work. Their jobs are at the only remaining operational symbol of joint inter-Korean cooperation, the Kaesong industrial complex. It is operated in North Korea with South Korean money and knowhow and a mostly North Korean work force.
The North Korean rhetoric escalated as the U.N. Security Council last week approved a new round of sanctions over Pyongyang's latest nuclear weapons test Feb. 12.
Analysts said that much of the bellicosity is meant to shore up loyalty among citizens and the military for North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un.
"This is part of their brinksmanship," said Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based expert on North Korea with the International Crisis Group think tank. "It's an effort to signal their resolve, to show they are willing to take greater risks, with the expectation that everyone else caves in and gives them what they want."
Part of what North Korea wants is a formal peace treaty to end the Korean War, instead of the armistice that leaves the peninsula still technically in a state of war. It also wants security guarantees and other concessions, direct talks with Washington, recognition as a nuclear weapons state and the removal of 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.
Pinkston said there is little chance of fighting breaking out while war games are being conducted, but he added that he expects North Korea to follow through with a somewhat mysterious promise to respond at a time and place of its own choosing.
North Korea was responsible for an artillery attack that killed four South Koreans in 2010. A South Korean-led international investigation found that North Korea torpedoed a South Korean warship that same year, killing 46 sailors. Pyongyang denies sinking the ship.
Among other threats in the past week, North Korea has warned Seoul of a nuclear war on the divided peninsula and said it was cancelling nonaggression pacts.

So it's getting closer all the time. First we had the rumours. Then the involvement of Dreamworks and Spielberg. Then a director was named.
Now, we have the website.
The official Transformers movie website.
So I guess this is really happening now.
Thoughts, opinions?

Well, they could be playing on that, everso slightly. Same company (Paramount) and the Spielberg involvement.
But apparently Michael Clarke Duncan is in it. And from what I hear, Michael J Fox is too, and Mark Hammil, performing the voices of Bumblebee and Starscream respectively.

Silly website, counting down days, hours, etc. For the wrong release date. If that countdown is to be believed it's out this year, rather than the 2007 stated at the bottom.

Either the countdown isn't able to count more than one year and will reset itself in two weeks or it's the countdown to the one year countdown.

If anyone needs to see the ever so cool "last" fight between megatron and Prime...really..I'm still a bit drawn into this....go Prime!
And yes, prime is being sold in this commercial...phew..

more or less gay about this clip? It just suddenly occured to me...my blood sugar might be low though..so that might exlain it...?
And here people just have too much time on their hands:
This one is..well..I don't know what to say.

One thing I have found out, is that Bumblebee won't be a VW Beetle. The reason for this is that VW won't have their products associated with anything to do with "war". For obvious reasons, I would have thought. Seems a bit silly though. Big transforming robots aren't all that similar to a Nazi horde jackbooting it's way across Europe, are they? Ah well.
Bumblebee will instead be a 1970s Camaro.(sp?)

Only because the allies stopped the Nazis scientists before they had a chance to finish that particular project. V.W are nervous because Mattel had stumbled upon the awful truth of the activities in their R&D department. Herbie was the MK1, variant, Bumblebee the MK2. I know he's yellow and not black and covered in leather but that's only because the real world Bumblebee on which the cartoon character was based fought for Rommel in the desert.
Well might you try and disassociate yourselves from your giant fascist car robot past V.W, well might you try indeed.

With any luck this will kick so much ass that there will be no ass left for anyone else to kick, but it's really going to have to go some to best the origional in my mind. Also, if it is lacking the hardcore cheese rock of the origional I will be thoroughly disappointed. The origional soundtrack is perfection. Spectre General and Weird Al all the way.

a review of the script...
QUOTE (latinoreview.com)
Reviewed by: El Mayimbe - 05.17.06
By John Rogers
Revision by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
2/28/06 Revision (DW DRAFT) 111pages
Yo! El Mayimbe here!
Fresh on the heels of the recent news that Michael Bay bought Digital Domain, yes folks, we here at Latinoreview got ourselves the Transformers script, or at least one of the drafts! So far, the online coverage Transformers has gotten has been pretty good and I want to shout my fellow online collaborators Robert over at IESB.net for his video interview of Tom DeSanto, my man Stax over at IGN/Filmforce for his casting scoops and last but not least Quint of Aint it Cool News for his awesome interview at Michael Bays office last month. Their work has only wetted the appetite (it certainly has mine) for more Transformers news. Now I hope I can do my part and offer my contribution.
Im a kid of the eighties and a diehard transformers fan. Im 32 pushing 33 and Transformers was the shit around this time 20 years ago. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the animated Transformer movie that was released theatrically 20 years ago this August. Me and a bunch of buddies from Mikes Comic Hut in Queens, NY went to the Quartet movie theater on Northern Blvd and sat in the theater that Friday afternoon at the matinee and stayed the whole day and saw it 3 times. Wow! Its been 20 years man, how time flies. Growing up in the eighties was an awesome time for a kid, especially when it came to cartoons, and toys. We had Transformers, GI JOE, Voltron, and Thundercats. I remember it like yesterday. My Christmas gift of 1984 was the 1st generation Megatron, which I kept and eventually sold on eBay (which I now regret) for a tidy profit. I have the entire animated series run (on bootleg of course, also available from collector to collector on eBay), the DVD releases of the first 3 seasons, the entire marvel comics run bagged and boarded in storage, and the recent comic revival by the good and talented folks over at Dreamwave Studios. So I dont want to hear shit, Im a Transformers fan. I clearly remember telling my boy in the theater wouldnt it be cool to see a live action real Transformers movie. That time is now upon us. My goodness.
Unfortunately now I have to address the haters out there who think I get fake scripts, leaked scripts or fan scripts. I have been doing script reviews now for almost two years for the site. It is all I do. I dont do junkets, I dont do set visits, I dont interview anybody; I review scripts pure and simple. Sometimes Ill review a flick for Kellvin but for the most part I review scripts because the story starts with the writer. I have access to screenplays here in Los Angeles and my track record on the site speaks for itself. Look at the scripts I have given an advanced look at and look how my script reviews have come pretty much close if not dead on to the final film. Yes, a script changes as it reaches production, beats might change here and there but the structure and the story usually remains the same. If anyone is gonna get their hands on the script for the Transformers movie, its gonna be me. I give the upmost priority to the toy related properties of my youth like this and GI JOE and folks who read my reviews know I always get my hands on the real deal. That being said lets talk about Michael Bay.
Im a huge fan. Transformers is the movie I think he was born to do. Transformers is about spectacle and robots duking it out on the screen, Bay is the man at spectacle and I love the way he moves and dollies his camera. Bay is the king of coverage and is perfect for his film. There is rarely a static shot in his movies and that is fine with me. I absolutely loved The Rock, Armageddon (have both the criterion collection dvds of those two) Bad Boys 1 and 2. I even enjoyed his so-called flop The Island. Yes, he is a talkback whipping boy and unfairly so, but I love the guy and will always see his films. He is what popcorn cinema is about and I absolutely love the visual language of his films, the richness of his color palette, his camera moves, the whole nine. So as a hardcore Transformers fan, Im telling my fellow fans to let the man do his thing. Were in good hands.
The film got the right behind people behind it creatively also, mainly film titan Spielberg and uber cool producers Don Murphy (holla!) and Tom DeSanto. All the creative forces behind it, I dont think the film is going to come out whack whatsoever too many people care about the integrity of Transformers.
Before I get into the review, I am so in favor of Cullen and Welker reprising their roles as the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Their voices made these characters and it would feel a bit odd if the flick didnt have the familiarity of their voices. But I understand where Bay is coming from if in 20 years of age they dont sound like that anymore. If they do still sound like Optimus and Megatron, hands down give them the job!
Another point I want to bring up is that the fans have to be liberal and let the filmmakers contemporize the story to some degree. For example, Laserbeak, an old Decepticon favorite of mine would be outdated if he were around today simply for the fact that cassette tapes really dont exist anymore. Get it?
Since we are talking about characters now, the burning question is who is in it?
On the Autobot end, the leader OPTIIMUS PRIME, his first lieutenant JAZZ (exotic car), IRONHIDE (the pickup truck) the weapons specialist forged in the Tri-Peninsular Torus states of Praxus, RATCHET (the ambulance) the medical officer, emissary to the High Council of ancients and last but not least BUMBLEBEE (camaro). Bay himself said on his site that the names will be changed other than the main few. That mainly applies to the Decepticons I think because in the script the Autobots, refer to each other in dialogue as the above names. These are the main and only Autobots. In the script we are told the Autobot names have been selected to approximate their behavioral temperaments.
Now the Decepticons. The names could change if the names in the script are aliases as Bay alleges, but you cant change the character descriptions in the script of what they are. So I am going by what is currently written in this draft and the names or so called aliases given. Me personally, I dont know why there is such a big stink over the names. So what?! I think it is a bad idea to change the names. Anyways the Decepticons, of course there is MEGATRON, then there is the latest F-22 RAPTOR (BAD ASS!) tentatively titled STARSCREAM, an M-1 ABRAMS TANK tentatively titled DEVASTATOR, a MINE CLEARING VEHICLE tentatively titled BONECRUSHER, an MH-53 PAV SPECIAL OPS CHOPPER tentatively titled VORTEX, a POLICE CAR tentatively titled BRAWL, the MECHANICAL SCORPION Quint saw at Bays offices tentatively titled SKORPONOK, and my favorite little decepticon a BOOMBOX that transforms into the 4 ½ foot SOUNDWAVE. The only Decepticon mentioned by name in this draft by Megatron is Starscream. If I were a betting man, I would bet the house that Starscream would still be Starscream when the film comes out. The names might change, but I would also bet the house that the Decepticon vehicles remain the same as currently written and as I described above because they play into the story as currently written.
So what is the story about?
I guessed it pretty much way before I ever got the script. It is quite simple actually. What was the original Television series about? What were both the Decpticons and Autobots after that was depleted on their home planet of Cybertron?
The Energon Cube. A supreme power that imbues the Transformers with the gift of spark the life force within all the Transformers.
So in a nutshell, Optimus Prime and the Autobots have to find the Energon Cube on Earth before Megatron and the Decepticons do. That is what the Transformer Movie coming next year in 2007 is simply all about. The Autobots and the Decepticons each have their reasons for finding the Energon cube, but I wont spoil it here. Just know that is what the script is about.
Ok, so what is the verdict? Is it whack? Is it good?
As a diehard transformers fan, I reads this script objectively TWICE. Last night and today.
THE SCRIPT ROCKS! Utter adulation! The story is dope! I heard some minor rumblings around town how the script is whack complete bullshit! The haters can kiss my ass. I loved it and it gets my blessing! I had such fanboy glee reading it that I will geek out and read it yet again this weekend. What a pleasure. Folks, BELIEVE THE HYPE! Transformers next summer will own you!
I catch a lot of flack from readers because I get complaints that I love everything I read. That is not necessarily true. I only write script reviews about what I like! I rarely write about whack screenplays and trust me I read plenty. If the script is good, Im gonna sing the writers praises. If the script is whack, I rarely wont say anything about it. Let someone else do it. That is why I got the rep I have because I stay positive with my reviews. If there is a big summer movie that I have NOT written a script review for -- 9 out of 10 times is because it is whack!
That is why I am giving this script the highest grade we can give here at Latinoreview. This script gets an A+ (a complete miracle)! You see, I have waited 20 years for this live action film and the story works for todays audience and yesterdays fans like myself. Just think about that for a second folks, a live action Transformers film is coming at us. Having the pleasure of reading this script made me feel like that 13-year old teenager again sitting in the Quartet movie theater on Northern Blvd. Reading this took me back there to my wonderful memories as a kid. I miss being a kid, I honestly do, I had a wonderful childhood and Transformers was a part of that. The recent Transformers animation on Youtube and the old one of that dodge neon transforming were pretty cool and that was made on a home pc, now imagine what eye candy the pros at Digital Domain are going to bring us next year. Either you were a transformers fan back in the day or you were a hater, which liked those week cartoons like the transformers rip-off GOBOTS or the other GI JOE rip-off MASK.
I read half of the very first draft of John Rodgers delivered in Jan 2005, I couldnt finish the other half, my source had to give the script back and hence why I couldnt do a script review on it like I wanted last year. I knew that I would get the script again eventually. The script and its development have progressed quite nicely. This current draft is up to snuff; its organic, nothing coincidental, the structure sound, and the action PLENTY! Especially the robot on robot action and the military on robot action. My goodness I cant wait to see this translated to the screen. What Quint of AICN saw in the animatics is all here on the page. This draft is a lean 111 pages. Another thing about the script is how unexpectedly funny and witty it is! This thing is gonna get the right laughs in the right places. Certain parts of it had me rolling.
So out of respect to the filmmaking team on Transformers, Im only going take a quick peek at the 1st 10 pages and keep the spoilers as lite as possible. I will just paint the broadstrokes.
The script opens 1 million years before the dawn of man with the energon cube hurtling through space on its path towards Earth. A narrator tells us that the ravages of war destroyed Cybertron, a war raged between the legions who worship chaos and those who follow freedom. They battled for a supreme power, the Energon Cube. Its origin unknown yet it bears the life-force that created the transformer race. They fought until their world was awash in death until the very ground swallowed whole their once mighty cities and the cube was lost to the limitless stars. Then by fortune or fate, its course was altered, drawn to a planet called Earth. They have searched for the cube across desserts of time, hoping to find it before the dark legions, but as fate would have it, they were already too late.
We are then in the artic circle in 1897 on a national Antarctic expedition and focus on a derelict sailing vessel trapped in ice. The crew works desperately to free the ship. The dogs bark, there is something in the ice. The captain, two men and the dogs go out over the artic shelf and look at whatever is buried under the ice. A huge rift opens, one of the dogs and the captain falls into a 30ft fissure. We pull back and see the captain standing on the palm of a giant steel hand, half in and half out of the ice. A mechanized face is embedded within the ice wall, expression frozen in a scream. The Captain wipes away ice to reveal symbol on the mechanoid the Decepticon emblem. The captain takes a pick axe and stars chopping away at the ice to take a better look, activates something on the robots chasis and something happens.
Next we are in present day Qatar, the Middle East as two air force cv-22 ospreys skim the dunes. Piloting the two planes, we meet SERGEANT WILLIAM LENNOX US AIR FORCE COMBAT CONTROLLER, and ARMY CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER JORGE FIGUEROA FIG, Dominican by way of the Louisiana Bayou who sings along to Reggaeton on the stereo. Holy cow! A Dominican like myself as one of the good guys! This is the Amaury Nolasco character and not the Michael Clarke Duncan character. My only gripe is that Dominicans dont hail from the bayou. I have neither Dominican friends nor relatives and they have no Dominican friends or relatives who hail from the bayou. Any of you out there? Let me know. I am certainly a displaced Dominican here in Los Angeles so it would be a first if there were other displaced Dominicans in the bayou. Fig, like any food loving Latino, talks about pasteles and spiced adobo pork in this scene with Lennox and it makes me wonder if the writer Roberto Orci is Latino. But props to the writers for making the Latino character a heroic character.
Anyways, Lennox and Fig arrive back at Soccent Operations Center and we meet the rest of the Army team there on the tarmac SARGEANT FIRST CLASS DONNELLY (Irish-American), and STAFF SARGEANT EPPS (the Tyrese Gibson character). We also meet an Arab boy MAHFOUZ.
Inside the operations center, a bogey appears on radar. Two f-22s go and intercept the bogey. The bogey, a massive MH-53 helicopter appears over the dunes. The f-22 gives the bogey a warning and then escorts it back to base. There seems to be a mistake because that chopper was shot down 3 months ago. Something is not right with the Soccent Watch Commander. There has got to be a mistake. At the loading bay, the bogey lets out a loud shriek, disables all the radar and computers, transforms into the Decepticon VORTEX and attacks the base! It vaporizes a row of c-17 cargo planes! All the planes hangars are destroyed in the blast! Vortex rips the roof off of the JOC JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER and attempts to hack into the cray computers and tries to download a file:
PROJECT: ICE MAN: ABOVE TOP SECRET: SECTION SEVEN ACCESS ONLY. We see the alien transformer code. A techie takes an axe and cuts the hard line; the cable explodes, cutting off Vortexs connection. Pissed off Vortex obliterates everyone. The op-center explodes in a thousand directions. Vortex stomps down and crushes a vehicle King Kong style! Complete chaos at the base. Skorponok disengages from Vortexs back and goes on the hunt for Lennox, Epps, Fig, Donnelly and the other soldiers!
And that is just the 1st 10 pages folks! Action packed! The rest of the script is just as tight. The 3rd act is wall to wall action! A Transformer fans dream!
Some other 1st act story details:
- After the blockbuster opening we meet SAM WITWICKY at Tranquility high school, the unfortunate yet adorable dork that he is, his love interest MIKALELA BARNES, her asshole boyfriend TRENT DEMARCO. We also meet Sams Chihuahua MOJO.
- Sams father RON picks him up after school and they meet up with a shady car dealer BOBBY BOLIVIA. Since Ron got 3 As, his dad got four grand to buy Sam a car. Sam ends up buying a 75 Camaro, which we by now all know is BUMBLEBEE. The Autobot emblem is on the steering wheel.
- Later we meet MAGGIE MARCONI, 28 and GLEN WHITTMAN (Michael Clarke Duncan) who work at a Washington think tank the Rand Corporation. Glens character is funny as shit in this.
- Maggie gets taken to the Pentagon by agents and gets recruited by JOHN KELLER, the secretary of defense (John Voight), since she is a signal analyst to make sense of the signal and shriek that hit Qatar.
- And in a super cool sequence towards the end of Act 1, SOUNDWAVE is aboard AIR FORCE ONE! A Decepticon aboard the same plane as the President!
For now that is all Im gonna say. The script is definitely MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
We also get to see the Transformers in their mechanoid states and see how they select their disguises or the vehicles they transform in and out. Like Bay said, we see how the military responds to a situation like Transformers. The chase sequence is off the chain. The battles are super cool, and there are some funny ass moments in this, like I said an A+
Transformers is gonna be so huge and there is so much ground to cover that I may do a part 2 to this script review. Most likely not though, Im not interested in giving the whole thing away. For sure, you guys are going to hear plenty in the next year leading up to the films release. I wonder what they are gonna show at this years Comic Con. But as it stands, I think I said enough to further wet the appetite of fans. For the most part, this thing is gonna earn serious Colombian Cartel cash and make at least a half a billion bucks theatrically next year.
So until the next episode

Unbeaten Counter Top withstands Horace Mann
By Gene Renfro
Counter Top Masters was able to stay undefeated with a 7-6 victory Saturday morning over Horace Mann Insurance in Babe Ruth League play.
Nate Perry produced a two-run single to left in the top of the sixth to give Counter Top Masters, now 6-0 on the season, the lead back 7-5. For Perry it closed out his 3-for-3 day which include the game's lead-off triple. He was also hit by a pitch in the contest.
Before the tie-breaking hit, Jacob Byrd produced a RBI single to right center to make the score 5-5 at that point in the sixth.
"It was a good game, we made some errors. I tell you what Horace Mann played a really good game all around. They out played us defensively, that's for sure," Counter Top Masters' head coach Greg VanTassell said.
Those seven errors led to the six Horace Mann, with a 6-3 record, runs all going in the unearned column.
"We didn't strike out much," VanTassell said about the offensive approach. "We put the ball in play."
All in all the Counter Top squad did put the ball in play with seven hits.
"Luckily we had our best two pitchers ready today," VanTassell commented about the players on the mound Saturday. "They both pitched really good."
Dylan Suiter tossed the first five innings for Counter Top and all five runs allowed were unearned. He scattered four hits and struck out seven. With the bat he had a RBI double as well.
Stone Hutchinson tossed the final two innings for the save. He struck out a trio of foes. At the plate Hutchinson had a RBI single in the opening inning.
Counter Top was able to strike for three runs in the top of the first before letting two runs come across in Horace Mann's half of the opening frame.
Horace Mann added two more in the third which included a RBI sacrifice fly from Scotty Oliver to put the home side up. Horace Mann added another run in the next frame when Justin Maupin scored on a botched bunt play.
Maupin was 2-for-2 with a triple, double, sacrifice fly, RBI and scored twice.
"I wish we could have all of our players here at one time (travel ball conflicts). We were a little short and pitched a 13-year old. They did well and we only got beat by one run," Horace Mann head coach Rick Walters said.
Action picks back up Monday as Horace Mann plays Erwin at 6 p.m. followed by Counter Top Masters taking on Bojangles.

Hi all,
I'm not sure if it's ok to ask so please go easy on me.
So, as the title suggests, I'm just wondering if any kind soul out there could help me get the Bootcamp 2 drivers (those included in Leopard DVD). I do have the original copy of Leopard but unfortunately I don't have access to it at the moment as I'm away from home :(
I did try going to apple's website to find the drivers but apparently they had removed it from their site, which is quite understandable given the official release of Leopard in October. I'm quite annoyed by the fact that you always need to have the DVD with you in order to create a new Windows installation and to restore your Mac partition from Time Machine. Anyway this thread isn't about bitching :P
Thanks in advance guys!

Enter my girlfriend of the past two and a half years. What I should say is enter my girlfriend and her three-pound Yorkshire terrier. My lifelong model of a dog sleeping faithfully in its own bed next to mine was out the window. Suddenly I was competing for covers with a pint-sized pooch.
It appears I am now in a subcategory when it comes to this phenomenon. Stanley Coren is professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and author of several books on dogs. In an article for Modern Dog magazine, Coren wrote that the highest percentage of people found sleeping with their dogs are single females between the ages of 18 and 34. Nearly six out of 10 women in this group allow the dog on the bed.
He does not mention these single females' boyfriends, but I assume we are included.
The situation got me thinking about the human-dog relationship and how it is affected by sharing such an intimate space. Is it a simple matter of inconvenience or is it something more?
Various trainers over the years have told me establishing authority is key to disciplining any canine. The question of who is in charge can be confused by sharing a sleeping space and a dog that shows any type of territorial aggression over the bed should not be allowed to be in bed with its human, according to an article at dogtime.com written by Nicole Wilde, a Los Angeles–based certified pet dog trainer.
In addition to the subtle assertion of dominance, Coren wrote, making the dog sleep on the floor has another effect. In the pack mentality, a dog that leans on another dog, thereby moving it out of the way, is establishing dominance. If a person's dog leans against him or her in bed and the human politely gets out of the way, according to Coren's article, the message to the dog is, "You're in charge."
Not everyone agrees with the dominance issue of sharing a bed, however. PJ Wangsness, owner of PJ's Dog Training in Reno, said a dog that growls at its owner over bed space is simply protecting its resources.
"By sleeping on the bed the dog is not trying to bring home the bacon, not trying to rule the world," Wangsness said.
In the dog world, she explained, the dog that controls the resources rules the roost. Fortunately, a little aggression from a tiny Yorkie is manageable. The leaning thing, however, I will keep in mind so as not to perpetuate the issue.
Another issue Wilde and other pet advice articles brought up was separation anxiety. She said sleeping in the same bed might be a sign the animal can't be away from is master, which is a larger issue to handle. I know firsthand about this one: My girlfriend's terrier has separation issues, which I can tell by the fact I can hear him barking inside the house when we pull into the driveway after running a few errands.
On the flip side, Wangsness said some owners enjoy the bond that can be forged by sharing a bed with a dog or cat.
"Most everybody I know sleeps in bed with their dogs," Wangsness said.
As for the dirt, twigs and other "yard treasures" as I call them, these benefits of sharing a bed with a dog just go with the territory. While these are harmless, people will want to be wary of the living critters that a dog might carry. Fleas can't breed in Reno's high elevation, according to veterinarian John Crumley of Baring Boulevard Animal Hospital, but do sometimes exist on an individual animal. Crumley said his office sees between 10 and 20 cases of fleas each year.
Of more concern, he said, are the other health risks of sleeping with a dog. Dogs that hike in the mountains can host disease-carrying ticks and any remnants of feces might have parasites in them. About one in five dogs carries the giardia parasite, Crumley said, which won't necessarily make the dog sick but can cause people severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Strictly for health reasons, Crumley recommends never sharing a bed with a dog.
"I think we can show our love other ways," he said. "My dog has a $100 orthopedic bed next to mine. Sometimes I think I should sleep on it."
Anyone who finds themselves wanting to undo a shared bed situation can break the cycle with some training, Wangsness said. Temporary use of a crate or other means of isolating a dog in the new sleeping area can give it a new routine, and dogs love routine, she said.

To satisfy customer demand increasingly rejecting the rules of fashion in the capital, Aurélyen, the founder and self-educated designer for the Misericordia label, chose to open a 55m2 boutique in the Charonne area in Paris.
Refined decoration reflects the importance attached to aesthetics and beauty by Aurélyen. The confessional 19th century black oak stands at the back of the store, where trying on clothes becomes a quirky experience. In addition to fashion, photos and films, silkscreen printing - which he learnt in Lima - is another form of art found in the 11th arrondissement boutique in the form of a manually printed poem in white font on a black floor which tells the label's story.
The Misericordia project is a human endeavour that brings together the fundamental values of dialogue, education, know-how and craftsmanship. The collective, made up of highly-skilled technicians and learning craftsmen, is based in Peru.

SOURCE Research and Markets
DUBLIN, February 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ljk5gd/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive NVH Materials Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The Global Automotive NVH Materials market is witnessing an increasing addition of natural NVH materials in the product portfolio of vendors. Natural NVH materials are composed of fibers derived from natural sources such as sugarcane, soya, cotton, and jute. Felt fibers, coir fibers, and bio-based polyurethane are being increasingly used due to their eco-friendly characteristics. Vendors such as CTA Acoustics and Borgers AG offer such natural NVH materials. CTA's product, Quietblend, is a combination of synthetic and natural fibers that provides superior acoustic insulation in automobiles. Borgers AG bases most of its insulation products on non-woven fibers derived from natural fibers.
According to the report, there are several factors that contribute to the growth of the Global Automotive NVH Materials market such as government laws and regulations pertaining to noise reduction. Countries such as those in the EU have stringent laws in place to ensure the minimum negative impact of automobile noise on the environment. Such laws lead to the increased demand for NVH solutions, thereby driving the market.
Further, the report states that despite the presence of several drivers, the Global Automotive NVH Materials market is constrained by some challenges, such as volatile raw material prices. The increasing crude oil prices are a challenge for polyurethane and PVC manufacturers.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Buy in May
What to Buy in May
As the warm weather moves in and schools let out for summer, May is the month to buy household goods and entertaining essentials. It's the perfect time for stocking up ahead of summer celebrations. Prepare for graduation parties and Memorial Day barbecues by finding deals to prep your food (cookware and BBQ supplies) and make your guests happy (party supplies).

Cookware and Small Appliances.Continuing on from April, cookware promotions are plentiful in May as retailers target college graduation and wedding season. For more discounts, keep an eye out for Mother's Day promotions -- cookware makes a great practical and welcome gift for mom. Give your college grad a set of new pots and pans for his or her first apartment, or shower newlyweds with cookware that will last for years.
Party and BBQ Supplies.Party supply stores gear up for summer when graduation parties, wedding events, pool parties, and casual weekend barbecues take towns by storm. Stock up for your next shindig, whether it's a luau or a bridal shower. If you like hosting casual backyard barbecues, May is the time to buy charcoal and grill tools, paper plates, condiments, napkins, plastic ware, and the like. Retailers see Memorial Day as the start of grilling season and offer coupons on these items throughout the month of May. Even if you're not planning any celebrations in May, fill the larder now for the rest of summer's picnics, barbeques, and dinner parties.
Camping/Hiking Gear.As the weather heats up so do sales on camping, hiking, and outdoor gear. This is the prime month to buy items you need to enjoy the outdoors all summer long. Look for coupons and sales, especially leading up to Memorial Day when many folks plan to take their first hiking or camping trip of the season.
Don't Buy Grills or Patio Furniture Yet.Although May is a good time to pick up grilling supplies, it's not the best time to buy a grill. As we mentioned in April (what to buy in April link), the best time to buy a grill is after July 4th, when retailers begin to look towards fall and start discounting grills. The same rule applies to patio furniture. You're better off waiting until summer begins winding down to snag a bargain on a grill or patio items.

Mattresses.If you have an old, saggy, or lumpy mattress, May is the best time to buy a new mattress. This month take advantage of mattress deals as retailers try to clear inventory ahead of receiving new stock. Retailers also deeply discount mattresses for Memorial Day sales, so check the offerings during those events.
Spring Apparel.With spring on it's way out and summer blowing in, retailers are antsy to clear out spring apparel and display the new summer duds. May is the best month to scoop up spring apparel for cheap, especially if you can wait until the Memorial Day sales.
Office Furniture.Looking to update your home office or fill the shelves with office supplies? May is a good month to do so. Sales and coupons for these items will be heating up and staying hot through June.
Don't Buy Jewelry.If you haven't bought mom jewelry for Mother's Day, don't try to now. Last month saw much better jewelry deals, but this month prices are back up due to the impending holiday. If you missed the jewelry deals it's probably time for plan B -- cookware or small appliances also make excellent Mother's Day gifts and are deeply discounted this month.
Foods in Season.For your Memorial Day barbecue, stock up on the foods in season in May. This month vegetables at their peak include asparagus, spring onions, peas, and rhubarb; summer veggies like okra and zucchini also begin to appear at market. Fruits in season in May include cherries, apricots, blueberries, and strawberries.

The sink can use a 1.5" vent
The tub/shower can use a 1.5" vent
The toilet uses a 2" vent
Revent at least 6" above flood level of highest fixture. That would be the lav.
Hey guys, now that my heating system is done I am working on my gutted bathroom. I will be filing for a permit this week and be doing the work myself. I never plumbed a bathroom from scratch before so I am working at one step at a time. The sink, toilet and tub are against the exterior wall. Instead of touching the insulation and drilling holes I am building a another 2x4 wall in front of it for plumbing purpuse's. All vent piping will be 2inch's and it will be 3 inchs in the attic coming out of the roof (6 inchs of roof line). The horizontal pvc is above the sink by 8 inchs. Does this design look right? I know it is very vague, just looking at the basics right now.
The sink can use a 1.5" vent
The tub/shower can use a 1.5" vent
The toilet uses a 2" vent
Revent at least 6" above flood level of highest fixture. That would be the lav.
If he's IPC the entire group can be vent 11/2" for that matter two bath groups can be vented with one 1 1/2
Hey guys, thanks for the reply I truly appreciate it. I am going to call the town today and ask if i can vent everything 2 inchs to make life easier for me. I understand about the horizontal tubing being above the highest flood point at least 6 inchs. The tricky part is the 4 inch drain I need to build runs directly at the bottom of this wall and floor joists horizontally. I will take some pics and hopefully you guys can give me ideas.
thanks again and have a great day!
While I have gotten good advice from the board I have found the best advice I have gotten is from the person who will be doing the inspection. If you are getting it inspected get a detailed enough drawing of exactly what you plan to do and contact the inspector. In my case the guy was very clear about what he wanted to see and how it would be tested so it took any and all guess work out of the equation.
In most cases, he will NOT get a permit until he submits a "detailed drawing" of how he intends to install the drains and vents. Vents are easy, ONCE you have the drains installed properly. Our inspectors are NOT in the business of designing plumbing, or any other, systems. They will "reject" incorrect drawings and expect YOU to make any corrections before resubmitting them.
Let me rephrase that then. If you can get a permit without a detailed drawing get the permit and make a detailed drawing and submit it to the inspector. If you can't get the permit first make the detailed drawing and submit it. If it is rejected they will need to tell you why. Fix what they have rejected, resubmit, get it approved, then move on with the plan. Talking with the inspector will also be helpful in that you will know how they plan to test the system. The inspector I have dealt with would much rather have it done right rather than coming to inspect it and have you rip it all out because its not.

Lover of tea, animals, the ocean (http://eastcoastbest.tumblr.com/), travel, science, and all things summer.
That's my mug! I may have a slight love of Star Trek.
I love black teas. I pretty well always drink my tea straight. I'm also fond of herbals, but they rarely make my permanent collection. I prefer my tea hot, but occasionally I'll cold brew.
Oolongs I enjoy, but I'm not always in the mood for them. Greens and pu'erhs I'm working on, but they're coming along at a snail's pace. Whites have to be pretty amazing (see Butiki's White Rhino). Rooibos/honeybush have to be well hidden for me to enjoy them. Mates and are not for me at all.
Coconut, creaminess, yogurt, toffee, cacao (true chocolate flavour), rhubarb, to be continued…
Any smokiness, bergamot, flowers (rose, jasmine, chamomile), hibiscus is hit and miss, to be continued…

Did you recently color your hair? I think I see a touch of dark underneath. It's pretty!ReplyDeleteReplies
Nope! It's very over-due. Thats my natural color underneath!Delete
Let me just paws a moment to tell you... It's purrrr-fect!! You do way better than ME-owww on that sewing stuff! Fur really and truly! I'm feline pretty jealous right now!!! ;) So keep that sweater away from us or we might just whisk-er away! :))ReplyDelete
Haha! LOVE! :)
I love that you're a crazy cat lady! Sometimes I feel like the minority in the blogging world because everyone seems to have a dog. Anyways, if you have a cat you've got to check out http://catversushuman.blogspot.com/ if you haven't. You will crack up.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think the opposite--so many bloggers have cats! I love catvshuman--they are hilarious!Delete
That is so creative! I haven't seen those kittens yet on pinterest. Thank you so much for sharing! Oh and btw your cat is so cute.ReplyDelete

My childhood cat's name WAS Patches, so when I saw your post I thought, "HOW DID SHE KNOOOOOWWWWW?" and then I realized I was being ridiculous.ReplyDelete
These, however, are adorable.Replies
HAHahaha. I just know these things. :)Delete
This is really cute. I did something similar to a shirt for Valentine's Day last year. I stitched around the edges with some embroidery thread to give it a more finished look. Turned out really cute.ReplyDelete
OMG.... my mom would die for these cute cat patches. lol.ReplyDelete
Love this idea! I might have to warm up to it for me...but it is a for sure for my kids!ReplyDelete
Are you wearing that sweater right meow?! Ok, sorry. Wanted to add that.ReplyDelete
Cute elbow patches though!
I am a cat lady, so obviously I love this idea. What will my fiance say when I add cat patches to all my long sleeved shirts and sweaters?ReplyDelete
OMG I'm dying. Cat Patches is the best idea, like, ever. In the history of everything. So awesome. http://www.thismomsgonnasnap.comReplyDelete
I love that little cat cut out. I've actually done the felting - it was super easy! It took like 5 minutes. You just have to make sure you don't buy the cheapest felting needles, get the ones that are like $4 not $3 and you'll be set! This is from when I did it (hope its okay to post it here):ReplyDelete

Sorry, but the patches look absolutely awful !!ReplyDelete
Friend, you are teetering on the edge of crazy cat lady!! :)ReplyDelete
love this post! Your puns are hysterical! keep up the fun posts!ReplyDelete
Kate, thank you for this idea! My favorite shirts & sweaters always get holes in the right elbow because I work at a computer all day and my "mouse elbow" rests on my desk constantly. Now I don't have to get rid of them!ReplyDelete
It is so creative especially the cat patches look so great on your outfit. I love your sense of humor.ReplyDelete
That's adorable. Can our cats be bffs?ReplyDelete
MEOW! I'm obsessed with this!ReplyDelete
I'm pretty sure Grits would like some permanent patches. lol JK! This is fun!ReplyDelete
